Did God create religions?

I opened the news paper and there was a news that few terrorists killed people, few converted to another religion to protect the image and many things like this. Terrorists killing people is not an uncommon news and whether they do on the name of religion has nothing to do with religion. I was already sad for the people who have died and then I saw two people fighting about the superiority of the religion. Someone had stopped someone from entering into his house saying he is from different religion and he was not allowed. He infact threw away the gifts saying they cannot allow them at be at home. One lady did not hire a girl because she was from different religion and once I started thinking about all this, I could recollect so many incidences where people were divided on the name of religion and during partition also innocents were killed because people belonged to different faiths. I almost wanted to cry and then started thinking that who created these religions? If I go back into the time then the person who created a religion never had an intention of creating a religion. They just established guidelines from time to time which would help us in living a better life. Or else we would have been astrayed. If someone can follow a nice and virtuous life without any of the written guide lines then is he not religious? Or just because people are following from different set of guide lines they become different? So it was time to research these guidelines, if they are trying to teach different things?

Does not matter, what someone says, but if we really open these books we would find few common things:

God never said worship me. God always said love each other. Always see my presence in each other. I am present even in an ant too. If you can serve each other, that would be my biggest service. If all the religions are guiding for the same thing, then all those prophets who wrote those books or let's say if they were guided to write those books, actually never intended to divide us. They just wanted to remind us of love and service. Then who is dividing us? Few questions to be asked:

Does God need followers?

Does God need protection with guns, if h does, I do not think he is God?

Are we following religion when we are hurting each other or we are going away from same?

Everything is wasted without love and a deep thought of love....If you are really following your religion, more than rituals, follow love and you would know what the real religion is. If we would be stuck with rituals, we would never get to know what our real religion is.
